Meet Our Team

Greg Kelman

Practice Owner

Greg graduated from Murdoch University, WA in 2000, and is a proud husband to Liia, father of three beautiful kids, two cats, a rather large dog and umpteen chickens (and more recently a large itinerant diamond python). Living locally for the last 15 years on the Central Coast, Greg and Liia have been operating the Kincumber Veterinary Hospital from mid 2014.

Greg is a self confessed "crazy cat lady" although he has a soft spot for the Kelman family rescue dog "Kitty" a 32kg mastiff cross. Greg attained his membership by examination to the Australian and New Zealand College of Veterinary Scientists in 2006 in small animal medicine. With interests in small animal medicine, ultrasonography and surgery, Greg is the practice principal and primarily a small animal (dog and cat)practician but also consults from time to time on more exotic species - rabbits, guinea-pigs, birds, rats and mice and the odd snake.

In his spare time Greg likes to spend time with his family (not forgetting the animals). He can be found pottering in the veggie garden, in the kitchen cooking or playing the piano - when he finds the time - in between running the vet hospital and helping Liia looking after the kids and pets at home.

Liia Kelman

Liia is a full time mum, terrible housekeeper - spending time with the kids a higher priority, crazy chook lady and part time veterinarian. Her chickens are her 'girls' but Liia does like the mad ginger cat, and the odd cat with spunk, but overall considers herself a dog person.

Liia's veterinary career has been diverse - from starting in mixed practice treating alpacas to horses to sheep to goats to cats and dogs - to small animal practice - to industry work for a multinational veterinary pharmaceutical company as a technical services veterinarian. Liia's recent post had been as the Veterinary Director at the Animal Emergency Centre West Gosford, leading the team of vets and nurses caring for critical pets in the dead of the night to the wee hours of the mornings.

Liia and her husband Greg have been running the Kincumber Veterinary hospital from mid 2014, just weeks before the birth of their third child, second boy Joshua James.

Louise Lim

Veterinarian

Dr Louise is one of our part time veterinarians who graduated from the University of Sydney with a Bachelor of Veterinary Science (Merit) and has worked on the Central Coast for several years. Louise has a keen interest in animal welfare and preventative health care, and like many veterinary staff is a sucker for rescue animals. Louise has two rescue cats who were adopted from a previous veterinary clinic run by Dr Greg. Calvin is the greedy guts of the pair, while Lola enjoys catnapping in small spaces.

Louise is often found working weekends and some weekdays at Kincumber Vet.

Jodie King

Veterinary Nurse

Jodie is one of our super keen animal-mad nurses. She is a soft-touch and sucker for animals. She is often found hugging our patients, especially kittens, and has a soft spot for cats and little dogs.

Outside of work Jodie spends time renovating the family home with fiancée David and their two sons Zachariah and Max. She loves pottering in the garden with her dogs by her side.

Jodie has five Furkids, two Dogs Sammi and Sunee and three cats Buffy, Wilson and Flokii.

Mimi Calvin

Veterinary Nurse

Mimi graduated a Certificate IV in Veterinary Nursing in June 2015 and is one of our newest additions to the Kincumber Vet Hospital family. She has been heavily involved in wildlife rehabilitation since late 2013 and is a (rabies) vaccinated and trained member of the WIRES organisation on the Central Coast; specialising in rescuing and caring for Flying Foxes and Microbats amongst countless other species of native animals; from swans and turtles, to wombats and gliders.

Mimi has a soft spot for cats, with three feline fur babies at home: Mittens, Little Miss Sunshine, and Jacky Boy – all of whom are rescue cats from various origins. She loves all creatures great and small and hopes to one day have her own wildlife sanctuary.

Sarah Robinson

Veterinary Nurse

Sarah graduated Certificate IV in Veterinary nursing in June 2016.

Sarah has always loved animals and has grown up with horses.

Before starting with us Sarah was a full time mum to her beautiful little daughter Bella who is an animal lover as well (and prospective veterinary nurse at the age of 6).

At home Sarah has a cat named Ookie, Dog named Bruce, 5 cocktails Goldie, Cutie, Captain, Yellow and Tweet. And the newest addition a rainbow lorikeet named Bow ( all named by Bella. )
